Cash interest rates

Cash held in different currencies is treated separately for the purposes of calculating interest, even if held within the same account. Only British Pounds can be held in an ISA account.

Cash held in an ii ISA, Junior ISA, Trading Account and SIPP is treated separately on an individual account basis.

Gross interest and AER

All interest will be paid gross of income tax and it is your responsibility to account for any tax payable on such interest (unless we are required by law to deduct tax).

AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and shows the interest rate you receive over the year taking into account the effect of compounding interest payments.

Information about interest rates

Beyond the specific subscription fee(s) for operating one or more of our Services, there are no charges for you to hold money in your Account(s).  We receive interest from the bank(s) with which we deposit client money. Any interest received on such balances belongs to us.

Separately, we will pay interest to you on your daily cleared credit balance at rates determined by us, as are set out from time to time on the Website.

Interest on US Dollar balances is calculated using the values equivalent to £10,000, £100,000 and £1,000,000 determined at the start of each calculation period.

When is interest paid?

Interest will become due and payable at the point it is credited monthly on or around the 25th day of each month. 

If your account is closed by you or us, no interest will be due or payable from the date on which interest was last credited to your account and the date of closure.

If you do not wish to receive interest for any reason, please contact us.
